Medicine Cabinet for Your Bathroom — Planning Guide
Bathroom medicine cabinet options — mirrored doors, recessed vs surface mount, and moisture considerations in Philippine homes.
Medicine cabinets combine mirror and enclosed storage above lavatories. In Philippine bathrooms — often compact and humid — modular aluminum or laminated cabinets must tolerate moisture and frequent opening.
Recessed vs surface mount
Recessed cabinets sit inside wall cavities — cleaner look but need sufficient wall depth and careful cutting around block or tile. Surface mount boxes project from the wall — easier retrofit in existing condos without heavy masonry.
Mirror doors
Single-door for narrow powder rooms; double-door for master baths. Specify fog-resistant mirror treatments if located far from exhaust fans. Soft-close hinges reduce slamming in early morning hours.
Interior layout
Adjustable glass shelves accommodate tall bottles and first-aid kits. Some designs add integrated LED strips — specify IP rating for wet zones. Lockable sections optional for controlled medication storage.
Ventilation
Partially open sides or vent slots reduce trapped humidity behind mirrors. Pair with exhaust fans running during showers to extend cabinet life.
